For the launch of her new photobook, she showed up dressed as Marilyn Monroe, and presented her invention, which was the result of the desire to create a "sexy item" which helps promote her new pin-up book, while not leaving her male fans out. And voilà, panties men can wrap around their wrists, while they attend Takahashi's events.

While this seems like a publicity stunt (it is!), My Navi reports that Takahashi is currently applying for a patent, should anyone decide to ever try to steal her idea. You know, the one in which people wear underwear on their arms in public.
